Restaurant Fire Damage Prevention
9/27/2022 (Permalink)
If you experience a fire in your restaurant, the first step is hiring fire damage restoration professionals and getting your business back running
Fire damage doesn’t just happen in homes, it can happen to commercial properties as well. Restaurants are no exception. According to the National Fire Protection Association, there are around 8, 000 fires at restaurants each year. As a result of these fires, there are around 115 injuries, and $245 million+ in property damage for restaurants across the country. So, as a restaurant owner, how do you keep your customers, employees, and property safe from fire damage? Here are some helpful tips on restaurant fire damage prevention and how to handle a fire in your restaurant.
Train your Employees
Part of any successful fire prevention plan is to always be ready for an emergency. It’s important that you have an emergency evacuation plan in place in case of a fire or another emergency. Keep the plan written out in a place where everyone can access it and practice it at least twice a year. Make sure every employee knows where the fire extinguishers and power sources are located and where they should store all flammable materials.
It’s also important that your team knows about each different type of fire and how to extinguish them. For example, you should never throw water on a grease fire. Appliances and other equipment should be inspected every few months by a professional to make sure everything is in working order.
Keep Your Space Neat and Tidy
A messy and unorganized kitchen is one of the leading causes of restaurant fires. To keep your space free of fire hazards it’s important for your team to place things back where they belong after they are used. If you have any employees who smoke, make sure that they smoke outdoors and always put their cigarettes out. For the safety of your customers and employees, you should also make sure all exit signs are properly labeled and there is a clear path to them at all times in case of an emergency.

How and Why, Hail Can compromise Your Roof
9/2/2022 (Permalink)
Faster to any disaster!
A healthy roof can protect your commercial property from storm damage in the South Bronx. Roof damage from a severe storm requires you to act quickly to avoid costly consequences.
How Can Hail Affect Your Roof?
Hail storms are typically not long-lasting, but they can severely compromise your roof depending upon various factors, including:
- Stone size
- Stone weight
- Stone shape
- Speed at Impact
- Roof material
Hailstones can have diameters up to three inches and weigh as much as a pound. They can form with jagged edges and travel over 100 miles per hour from thousands of feet above the ground. Damage occurs if these large stones land on your roof and puncture a hole through it.
How Can You Identify Hail Damage?
Roof damage following a hail storm is not always easy to recognize if it doesn't leave a gaping hole. Following a hail storm, it is necessary to conduct a roof inspection and look for the more subtle damage signs. Your roof may have damage if your gutters are out of place or dented or if they are not draining properly due to clogging from trapped hail particles. Dents in your building's siding following a hail storm are another good indication that your roof also has damage.
What Are the Consequences of Ignoring Roof Repairs?
Delaying roof inspections or hail damage repairs can lead to other issues affecting your building's interior. For example, a small hole in your roof can grow bigger if it remains unrepaired. As a result, water from the next rain or snowstorm could make its way inside. The result could be an obvious flood, water-soaked insulation or an accumulation of water within your building's interior walls. These scenarios can lead to secondary mold damage that would require immediate attention from a mold remediation service to decontaminate your premises.
If roof damage causes flooding at your building in The South Bronx, a disaster recovery service can undertake proper cleanup and sanitization.
